Random Pictures

Hello family and friends! The holidays are over and we are getting back to the daily grind. Here are a few random pictures from this past week. I have a funny story to share though, the babies are eating mostly table food now and Chloe isn't loving her veggies. She eats peas pretty well but not green beans. She is very independent with her eating and wants to feed herself. This evening, instead of feeding herself the green beans, she would tilt her head up at me with a big smile and thrust it at me. She wanted to feed ME her green beans! What a smart girl! She is trying to be cute and "share" so that we won't notice she's not eating her veggies! No worries, we'll keep trying!

Cooper and Chloe went to their friend Zachary's 1st birthday party at the Little Gym last weekend. I'm sure more pictures will be posted soon on the Caraway's blog. But, I had to share this funny picture. Isn't he looking like he's too cool for words...so Todd...

Playing in the bouncy thing...

The babies are feeling a little more independent these days. They are wanting to walk from the car to the door and they get so excited doing it. Cooper is giving the grass a try. You should see how he carefully steps on the grass. When he falls, he tries desperately not to touch it with his hands.

My little cutie pie is loving dresses these days and Mommy is too! We had to stop putting dresses on Chloe while she was crawling because she would get so frustrated with the loose fabric getting caught by her knees. So, here come the dresses! She adds a little prance to her steps too when she is dressed up. She's excited and clapping her hands because we are letting her walk up to the door.

I must confess, I hate toys! Okay, hate is a strong word but they really are driving me bonkers. They are everywhere! I went to the Container Store to see if I could find a solution for organizing/storing all the toys. They didn't have anything that would work and not cost me a fortune. Todd bought this unit when he was single for Madison's toy room (now babies' room). When we were clearing the room out for the babies we reconfigured it so that it would fit in Madison's closet. We made it work because there was nowhere else to put it. We are definitely out growing this house. There is no room in any of the closets or bedrooms to store toys. I decided to move it out into the living room and tuck it in the corner. It's actually works very well. The toys have a "home" and the babies already know what each bin holds. They especially know which bin holds their favorite books and before going to bed they dig out the books and bring them to us to read. For now, I'm okay with this new piece of furniture in my living room!
